What would be a good portable Dac/Amp to use with my HD6xx and Sony Xperia 1 V cell phone?
I am new to this hobby. I purchased a HD6XX and plan to use it with my Sony Xperia 1 V cell phone, that has a 3.5mm jack. I was wondering if I needed a portable dac/amp or just a portable amp and if so what would one recommend? Any assistance one could provide, would be greatly appreciated. Kind regards, Haz

That should help quickly pick which one is best for you. Basically the 6xx is warmer/smoother and more detailed, but the 58x will sound more exciting. Now, take this comparison with grain of salt, many reviewers did say if they would listen and enjoy 660s or 58x, than have a listen on 6xx or any other, with some apart, they wouldn't be able to tell difference. They are only apparent with a/b testing.
